Looking back on the campaign as a whole, it’s clear that the depth in quality within the squad has played a huge part in the side scaling new heights, with Plaimoor’s player pathway also showing further evidence of success, as no less than eight members of the U16 squad made the step up a level to support Kevin Wills Under 18s throughout the course of the season. Despite the fact that some of those players were playing with and against players up to two years older than them, none looked out of place, with forward Lucas Robinson (pictured above) just one example. It was, of course, Lucas who netted United’s second goal in the South West Counties League Cup Final win over Bridgwater at Plainmoor last weekend, but he was by no means the only Young Gull to receive recognition for his efforts and progress this term Along with Robinson, six other players were selected at County level to represent Devon U16s this season, with captain Owen Bailey, Toby Hard, Harvey Roache, Harry Page, Patrick Reed and Stevie Cole the other worthy recipients of the honour. An excellent & talented group of lads, the side have certainly come a long way in sixteen months, whilst remaining very supportive of each other in the process. This season’s achievement is testament to all the hard work they have put in on the training ground, and who knows, perhaps you will see some of them stepping up once more – this time for the first-team, in the not-too-distant future! Congratulations on an amazing achievement, lads… Bring on 2024/25!The post A Season To Remember For The Under 16s! first appeared on Torquay United.Source: https://torquayunited.com/a-season-to-r ... under-16s/
